The man is suspected of instigating murder in, among other places, Skurup, but also for gross unlawful threats and conspiracy to murder in another part of the country.

Another man is already suspected of having ordered the murder. He is detained in his absence.

A man in his 50s lost his life in the fatal shooting. He was a relative of a person whom the prosecutor suspects that the people behind the murder wanted to avenge.

Four boys under the age of 15 are suspected of having taken on the murder assignment in Skurup for payment. Two of them are suspected of murder and two of aiding and abetting murder.
